Ready to jump start your goals for next year? Need some help figuring out your next steps in your academic or professional journey? Join the Graduate School for a day of networking and interactive, hands-on sessions to help you achieve your goals! All graduate students, especially doctoral students, and postdoctoral research associates are invited. This year's event will focus on communication and presentation skills, finding funding, and career management. Space is limited!

Open to both new and returning teaching assistants and graduate student instructors, this biannual campus-wide orientation will provide you with: 1) Practical training for effective teaching, 2) Support in developing a teaching identity and pedagogy, and 3) Knowledge of campus resources for teaching, learning, and professional development.

It’s increasingly important to present yourself not just in person but also virtually. At this session, we’ll explore reasons why you should--or should not--present yourself and your accomplishments in various virtual formats and how to make effective choices about online tools such as blogs and personal websites that advance, enhance, and showcase your academic brand.
